- Improve heart function: Regular sauna sessions are known to improve cardiovascular function and lower blood pressure.
- Reduce stress: The heat and calming scents stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.

BIO SAUNA
Want to experience a whole new dimension of relaxation and aromatic well-being? Then you should try our biosauna.
The Biosauna is a modern interpretation of the sauna experience, combining the heat of traditional saunas with innovative elements to create a unique and gentler heat experience.
The sauna is approximately 60-65 degrees, where the traditional Finnish sauna is up to 85-90 degrees. The Biosauna is therefore a milder sauna where we combine temperature variations and essential oils for an amazing experience.
IS A WORLD OF AROMATIC WELL-BEING
While our Finnish sauna only has essential oils under gus, the bio sauna has permanent essential oils.
Here you can truly immerse yourself in a world of well-being and enjoy the aromatic scents at any time.
WHY TRY BIO SAUNA?
The bio sauna is the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy the many benefits of a sauna without the intense heat:
- Milder Heat: The lower temperature in the bio sauna allows you to stay longer and enjoy the heat without discomfort.
- Aromatherapy: Continuous diffusion of essential oils enriches the air with soothing aromas that promote mental and physical relaxation and overall well-being.
- Restorative Properties: The Biosauna is designed to promote healing and recovery by combining therapeutic essential oils and a pleasant heat, making it ideal after exercise to promote muscle relaxation and reduce stress.
INFRARED SAUNA
Have you been recommended to use an infrared sauna before?
It’s being recommended more and more often by physiotherapists, both as an extension of training and treatment – and there’s a reason for that!
You get comfortable warmth and well-being without overheating when you use the infrared sauna.
The sauna does not feel hot like traditional saunas.
The infrared rays heat your body, joints and muscles from the inside, so you’ll experience a gradually increasing and comfortable warmth.
RECOMMENDED BY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Many physiotherapists recommend this type of sauna for this very reason, as it provides a consistent and even heating of the body and joints, which is beneficial both before and after training and treatment.
Muscles and joints relax while you increase your metabolism and get rid of waste products in the body.
The infrared light stimulates recovery, pain relief and has a cleansing effect on both body and mind.
WHY TRY AN INFRARED SAUNA?
Infrared saunas are recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide, including many physiotherapists, as part of a holistic approach to physical wellness. Here are some of the benefits you can experience:
- Comfortable Heat: Infrared saunas deliver a more comfortable heat that warms the body from the inside without overheating the room. This is ideal for those with low heat tolerance and those who want a more comfortable heating experience.
- Therapeutic Effects: The infrared heat helps relieve muscle pain and joint stiffness, and is therefore particularly useful before and after physical activity to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
- Cleansing the Body: The deep heat helps promote perspiration and detoxification. With regular use, it helps cleanse the body of toxins that can accumulate from everyday stress and pollution.
- Stimulates Recovery and Pain Relief: Infrared light stimulates blood circulation and accelerates the body's natural healing processes, which is ideal for both physical recovery and general well-being.
